After you are finished scanning all the pages (it will save all the individual images in a 'multipageproject' folder in your ~/Documents (default)), there is then an option to combine all of them into a PDF. An alternate is 'pdfsam'. Jay PS: I have found gscan2pdf the easiest & fastest method, and haven't seen any kind of tint/other artefact. Maybe your sacnner needs to be re-calibrated or you may have chosen non-default options in colour/brightness/contrast tabs. -- Linux User 483705 | openSUSE 11.1, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686) w/ Windows XP Smolts Profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_b541a450-9bc1-45fd-beab-d46ee43a0108 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
